3. Addressing paper Inserting paper When printing postcards or thin documents, you can work with the smallest spacing. If the printhead smudges the print, or if the paper is particularly thick (such as for magazines), the spacing must be increased. Setting the printhead spacing – Turn the knob (7) to its maximum setting, corresponding to the value "5" on the scale (see diagram below). 7 7 maximum spacing minimum spacing – Place the paper (3) between the adjustable pressure rollers (b).
Addressing paper Feeding paper – – Turn each of the two knurled knobs (9) about half a turn away from the stop towards the mid-position (see figure on right). Unlock the knurled knob (10), lift it up and lock it again in its raised position (see arrow). 9 10 9 3. 2. 1. – Place the first piece of paper (3) between the raised stripping blades and the feed roller (see arrow). 9 – 10 After unlocking the knurled knob (10), let the stripping blades drop down onto the paper.
Addressing paper Setting page guides – Loosen the fixing screws (a) and then adjust the feed brackets (1 and 2) to the width of your document (3). CAUTION ! The paper must cover the paper detector. Adjust the position of the feed brackets with respect to the paper detector. The paper edge should project at least 5 mm at the sides beyond the paper detector.
Addressing paper Horizontal bar adjustment – – Use the second bar (5) for additionally securing wide and loose documents. Loosen the fixing screw (a) to align the two bars (5) more or less in the middle. 3 = 4 a = 5 = Vertical bar adjustment – – – – – – \text\etd\DA608\addressing Place the first sheet of paper (3) on the bar between the stripping blade (b) and the guide block (4). Slide the guide block (4) up to the upper edge of the paper.
Addressing paper Aligning the exit rollers – Align the two exit rollers (13) so that the paper is evenly gripped. Take care not to touch the print area in the process. Check the correctness of your paper settings by running a paper sheet through without printing an address. aper run without address printing Press the "PAP" key: the lowest sheet is drawn in. Press the "PAP" key again: The sheet is ejected and the next sheet is drawn in.
Addressing paper Setting print position Before inserting your document, you must decide how you wish to position the address onto it, and how you can set this position in the printing area. The direction of printing depends on the size of your document and on the left margin. Address block rotation If the format is wider than the printing area and the print-head cannot reach the required left margin, then the address block must be rotated by 180° together with its left margin.
Addressing paper The top margin is the spacing between the edge of the incoming paper and the first printed line. Top Margin The default value for the margin is 0 mm. If you select the “off” setting in the "Paper Size" menu, i.e. no format size, then the DA608 will recognize the top margin value as the spacing between the incoming paper edge and the first printed line. In the address block direction "Rev", the latter will be the last line on the page.
Addressing paper Print test Press the “TEST” key. The lowest sheet will be pulled in, the test address is printed out and the sheet is ejected. Assuming that the test shows the print-out to be correctly positioned, press the “START” key to return to the on-line status. + \text\dtd\DA608\adressie Never touch the internal parts of the printer while it is running! 3.

Printer functions At the "DPBC" setting, the program searches for the house number at the start of the street line and adds it to the ZIP barcode. The street line must be sent to the printer before the line containing the postal code. The house number should be at the beginning of the line. Where the house number consists of three digits, only the last two are converted into barcode. Addresses consisting of only a single digit are preceded by a 0.
Printer functions Other Barcodes If you acknowledge the barcode "ean" with the ENTER key, then you will be offered only the parameter setting "BARCODE HEIGHT" - as already described. Char. Spacing You can change the character spacing from 0 to 90 dots by inserting additional blanks. Char. Height You can increase the character height up to sixteen times without changing the width. Char.

7. Fonts Terminology Font A font is a collection of characters and symbols of the same typeface and spacing, the same size (height), line thickness and character orientation. The set of characters and symbols it contains share a common design. Cour Helv TmsRm Serif or sans serif fonts Serifs are small crosslines above or below characters (known as "feet" in the Antiqua fonts). Cour is a serif font type. Font types without serifs are known as sans serif. Helv is a sans serif font type.
Fonts Spacing Fixed spacing Spacing refers to the relative print density between the letters of a font. The character spacing is either fixed or proportional. With fixed character spacing, each letter of a font assumes the same width and has the same spacing to the adjacent letters. Cour and LetGot are fonts with fixed spacing. Fixed character spacing Proportional spacing Proportional character spacing depends on the width of each letter.
Fonts Dot size Dot size (character height) refers to the height of an upper-case printed latter. The dot size is measured in pica points. One pica point corresponds to 1/72 of an inch. The heights of both types of font, those with fixed and those with proportional character spacing, are measured in pica points. Underlining To highlight a piece of text, it may be underlined. The otherwise uniform typeface remains unchanged. You can underline a single word.
Fonts Character spacing To bring single words out more clearly, you can expand the spacing between letters and words without changing the character size itself. This E x a m p l e Quality is printed with expanded spacing. The term quality refers to the quality of the printout. EconoFast (Ecofas) EconoFast mode is used for fast printing with low ink consumption. The result has a resolution of 300x300 dpi (dots/inch).
Fonts Character sets A character set consists of characters and symbols that contain all elements of a language or subject (country-specific characters), including punctuation marks and numerals. 7-bit character set A 7-bit character set corresponds to the definitions of the "International Standards Organization" (ISO) and the 'American Standard Code for Information Interchange' (ASCII). The 7-bit character set contains 128 characters. A typical 7-bit character set is shown below.
Fonts Selecting fonts for your addresses + The fonts are selected by software or by printer commands. Fonts can be used highly selectively to give an address a specific appearance. Select the fonts that correspond to the message that you want your document to express. Serif fonts The example below shows an address using Cour12 font: Dr. Lemuel Gulliver 104 Churchill St. Cambridge CB8 5TD Sans serif fonts The example below shows an address using Helv12 font: Dr. Lemuel Gulliver 104 Churchill St.
